TheraTogs ULTRA Lower Extremity System

TheraTogs ULTRA Lower Extremity System is an effective treatment for neuromotor, balance, and gait impairments caused by cerebral palsy, hypotonia, ligament laxity, and hemiplegia from a stroke or TBI. Theratogs Lower Extremity System tackles alignment and functional deviations of knee joints, growing femurs, and hip joints in independently ambulatory children and adults who do not have hip or trunk stability issues.

Indications:

• Hypotonia
• Cerebral palsy
• Ligament laxity
• Hemiplegia due to stroke or TBI
• Excessive flexible foot supination caused by ligament laxity
• Genu varum or genu valgum is caused by knee joint ligament laxity
• Persistent flexible foot pronation in hips/knees caused by hypotonia or ligament laxity
• Excess anterior pelvic tilt caused by excessive femoral torsion or excessive leg or foot rotation
• Intoed gait in a child <7 years caused by excessive femoral torsion or excessive leg or foot rotation
• Knee hyperextension in a child age <7 years or newly acquired knee hyperextension, caused by cerebral palsy, hypotonia, or ligament laxity
• Inadequate swing-phase knee extension in gait resulting in a shortened step caused by cerebral palsy, hemiplegia due to stroke, or traumatic brain injury
• Out-toed gait in a child <7 years caused by diminished femoral torsion, excessive lateral tibiofibular torsion, hip outward rotation bias, knee joint ligament laxity

Features:

• Improved step length
• Improve load-bearing alignment
• Assist quadriceps during the late swing phase
• Defers or avoids the need for surgical long bone correction
• Supporting, assisting, and strengthening the lower abdominals
• Appropriate knee joint modeling in developing infants and children
• Uses physiologic adaptation and skeletal modeling capacities in daily function
• Use joint links to influence foot alignment and function by realigning the leg segments

Key Benefits:

• Hours of gentle, persistent corrective forces to address lower extremity alignment and functional concerns - no wires or other hardware required, and worn under clothing.
• All garment surfaces are hook-receptive, allowing the therapist to install strapping wherever it is required - and then adjust those strapping placements over time in response to progress and/or client growth.
• The simplified, streamlined system includes only the components required to address lower extremity concerns.

• The manufacturer warrants that the components will keep their shape and documented function for a minimum of six months from first date of use.
• If any part or component fails these standards, manufacturer will at its discretion replace it free of charge.
• Parts under warranty will be covered at no cost. Any labor cost for service under warranty is not covered as per our terms of sale.

Q. What is the TheraTogs Ultra Lower Extremity System used for?
A. The Lower Extremity System is designed to provide gentle, sustained muscle retraining for the hips, knees, and feet. It supports improved alignment, movement control, and posture in children with lower body neuromotor or orthopedic challenges such as:

• Ataxia
• Hypotonia
• Flexible joint deviations
• Muscle recruitment problems
• Postural mal-alignment
• Diplegia in childhood
• Sensory integration/processing issues
• Athetosis
• Hemiplegia
• Pain due to muscle imbalances
• In-toed gait
• Autism
• Joint laxity
• Out-toed gait
• Attention deficit disorders

Q. How does the Lower Extremity System improve gait and alignment?
A. The system uses foam fabric and elastic strapping to provide dynamic support, correcting knee, femur, and hip alignment. It promotes proper joint modeling and neuromotor retraining, improving gait and balance. Clinicians can adjust straps for personalized therapy, ensuring effective, all-day correction.

Q. How long should the TheraTogs Lower Extremity System be worn each day?
A. There is no generic or standard wearing schedule; it depends on what the clinician and the caregivers determine is the best for the patient, and what's most realistic for the patient's circumstances. For most wearers, it's best to start slow, wearing only the garments for a week or so, and then adding strapping if/as needed. (In many cases, TheraTogs cause the patient to use muscles that have been underused, so fatigue is to be expected.)

Q. Why are TheraTogs classified as a Class I medical device?
A. TheraTogs are registered with the FDA as a Class I medical device, meaning they’re low-risk and designed for safe use under a licensed healthcare professional’s guidance. This classification ensures TheraTogs meet regulatory standards for supporting neuromotor and alignment issues, providing effective therapy when applied correctly by therapists or clinicians.

Q. Is the system comfortable to wear under clothing?
A. Yes. The garments are designed to be worn discreetly under regular clothing. The breathable fabric and soft seams help minimize irritation during daily use.
